and the countdown begins

Tomorrow marks 30 days to D-day. Or I should say "W-day". For as much as the wedding planning isn't slowing me down, we're finally getting into the knitty-gritty (ha ha) so, my blogging is lacking. It's not necessarily a lack of time. It's really a lack of energy and ambition. The Tall Guy is home for awhile after a lot of summertime travel, so we're hanging out lots, having dinner with lots of various people, getting cars fixed, wondering about seating charts, wrestling a somewhat neurotic dog who wants to sit on your lap when you type on the computer, having work be crazy, getting dresses fitted and the like.
Random things and facts of late? Sure. Knitting? None to show you for now!
I've read a few books recently, all pretty good but nothing overly earth-shattering:

• The Glass Castle
  
• The Yiddish Policeman's Union
• When You Are Engulfed in Flames
• Currently reading: How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
  

Over the past week, I've spent a ton of money over at Etsy.com. I can't show you any of it until the gifts are given. I'm sorry, you'll be jealous of the super cute purchases I've made. I heart Etsy so much.
....And I've been making some noise over at Silver Spring Scene. I have lots of opinions. I try to keep them to myself (some may call me diplomatic, but that's really what I get paid to be). Situations like Downtown Silver Spring being a state of total chaos on the weekends and cars being somewhat regularly broken into in front of my house, in broad daylight are cause for me to comment, however.
